Volume 1 Wolf Edge in Another World Chapter 11 The Great War Will Begin (II)
Wolf Feng almost couldn't help laughing, people who don't know the inside story may think that this is nothing, but Wolf Feng heard Ah Qing say it.
In the last battle, due to McGee's decision-making mistake, the 800 Bear Riders lost 50 people!
You must know that the Wild Bear Legion has a total of only 5,000 people! In the face of the 100,000 Zerg army, although it has the advantage of defending the city, it is still a pair of 20, and the task of the bear cavalry is even more arduous, and the loss of 50 cavalry can be described as a serious mistake.
As a result, McGee was whipped by AndrΓ© in front of the entire army, which was also a sore foot for McGee. Que Yi was tantamount to sprinkling a handful of salt on McGee's wound.
McGee's earthy yellow face instantly turned purple, but it was his fault and he couldn't refute it at all.
"Hmph!" a heavy, nasal voice sounded, and he turned his head to stop talking.
Two or three more people walked into the tent, and Andre looked around: "Okay, the people are all together, and the chief of staff will analyze the information obtained this time for everyone." β
"Yes! Legion Commander!" Que Yi stood up and said loudly: "Colleagues, judging from the feedback from the outpost at the front, the Zerg has now gathered more than 100,000 troops, and it is estimated that it will launch an attack within three days! So far, there has been no sign of the Zerg's main battle force gathering, so there is a high probability that this time it will be the same war for the purpose of food plunder and population consumption as usual. β
"Whew~"
Most of the people in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, after all, no one wanted to fight, not even the belligerent orcs.
Grain plundering is because the Zerg has a huge population, and they often have to plunder the border cities of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire every year to obtain more food, although the orcs are not good at agricultural production, but they do not have a large population base like the Zerg, plus the elves receive help from time to time, but they can also ensure food and clothing.
But since Andre took office, the Zerg army has been unable to take a grain of grain from the territory of Hader City, resulting in a great increase in the number of people starving to death in this Zerg tribe every year.
The second is the consumption of the population, there is a serious concept of hierarchy in the Zerg, rather than starving to death, it is better to let the low-level Zerg consume the strength of the Beast Clan, although the effect is minimal, but it is better than nothing.
It is undeniable that although a war cannot consume the strength of the beast clan, but over the years, many beast warriors have died on the battlefield.
Que Yi continued to speak: "Everyone can't take it lightly, first prepare according to the usual pre-battle preparation level, the reconnaissance team pays attention to the movement of the Zerg at any time, and reports any abnormalities at any time." β
"Yes!" a brown bear man, the captain of the reconnaissance team, stood and saluted.
"Okay, that's all for now, Commander, do you have anything else to add?" Que nodded, motioned for the big man to sit down, and turned his gaze to Andre.
Andrei stood up and looked around with a pair of angry eyes: "Everyone do according to the deployment of the chief of staff, don't take it lightly, go all out, glory, belong to the beast clan!" said as he clenched his right hand and hit his left chest with a fist.
The orcs stood up and struck their left chest with their right fists: "Glory, belong to the orcs!"
Andrei nodded, "Go and prepare!" β
"Yes!" the crowd saluted, and then neatly withdrew from the tent.
When the others withdrew from the tent, Andre looked at Que Yi, and Wolf Feng, as Que Yi's guard, was naturally guarding the left and right.
Andre picked up the wooden cup and took a sip of water: "Que Yi, do you think those insects will do anything." β
Que Yi frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "According to the information I got last time, the configuration of the Zerg land troops this time is no different from the previous time, it is composed of 50,000 locust people cannon fodder, 30,000 beetle people mixed formations of various races, and 18,000 mammoths and 2,000 one-horned fairy beetle people.
It stands to reason that the configuration is usually similar, and there is nothing suspicious. β
The Zerg mainly has two large population families, the insect family and the amputated Zerg, of which the beetle is a large branch of the insect family, and the beetle has a lot of beetle branches, and the amputated Zerg is the same, of course, in addition to these two large families, there are also some Zerg that do not belong to the branch of the two Zerg, but there is not such a large population.
So far, no Zerg scholar has been able to fully count how many Zerg races there are, after all, there are too many types.
The Locusts and the mixed beetle company are some low-level races within the Zerg, they are strong in reproduction and can eat, and the Zerg cannot produce enough food to supply them, so they become cannon fodder.
The woolly beetle is also a kind of beetle people, compared to the locust people, they are a little more powerful, but it's just a little, they also belong to the low-level race of the Zerg, their back bones are stronger than most beetle cannon fodder, and they are a good defensive class, but they still can't escape the fate of cannon fodder.
The one-horned immortals, on the other hand, have a hard back and a long horn on their head, which is as lethal as the sharp horns of the Ox Clan warriors.
Often, two one-horned immortals can fight a brown bear warrior. They are the higher races of the Zerg, but they do not participate in the war, their duty is to supervise and command the battle, and prevent the cannon fodder from escaping.
After all, cannon fodder is also insect people, and their wisdom is not low, they know that they are cannon fodder, if there is no one to supervise the battle, I am afraid that they will run out before they reach Hader City.
The Zerg is composed of clans, the concept of hierarchy is serious, often the higher races can unconditionally execute the lower races, they are matrilineal clans, female Zerg people have a higher status than male Zerg, and the leader of a clan is also a woman.
They rudely divided the Zerg into three people, the higher zergs rule the middle worms, the middle worms rule the lower worms, to achieve the domination of the race, the long-term enslavement makes the lower races do not dare to resist the higher races, this hierarchy has been deeply rooted in the bones of every worm, but not daring to resist does not mean that they will not run away, so the overseer team is indispensable, even if it is a small force of one or two thousand people, there will be several high-level insect overseers.
Every time there is a war, each race sends cannon fodder according to a certain proportion of the population to form a Zerg army, of course, the Zerg army is more than 100,000 people, the land area of the Beast Empire is vast, and there are not many cities like Hader City, but there are countless second-level fortresses, and often each fortress will receive small-scale attacks.
Every time autumn comes, the huge Zerg coalition invades as a whole, impacting the western border of the Beast Empire, because Hade City is backed by the Chilin Great Plain, only Andre led the five thousand warriors of the Brown Bear Clan to guard here, ensuring the largest grain production base of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, that is, the Chilin Great Plain.
This is also the focus of the attack of the Zerg army, for the sake of food, the Zerg army will secretly send the main battle race to attack Hader City from time to time, in order to open the door of this orc race, and have to let Que Yi and Andre be cautious.
